His ultimate goal isn't power or conquest, but absolute freedom — liberation from death, from the control of powerful lords, and from the confines of this world. Meet Wuyi, formerly a gangster's accountant, now reborn in a world torn between the Righteous and the Demonics. Gifted with a unique ability by the gods of his previous life, Wuyi possesses an exceptional edge in this new realm. While Wuyi yearns for a peaceful life, he's not afraid to become the villain that this world might need. Determined to secure his freedom, he's prepared to upheave this world, paying no heed to its moral divides. He will not rest until he attains the deepest desire of his soul.
When he said "kneel," more than two-thirds of the surviving swamplings fell immediately to their knees. Wuyi was deeply gratified to see Luding twitch so that his body shook as if a strong wind had passed through a forest.
And as he shook the enemy, buying precious heartbeats, Wuyi entered the chamber and touched the wall. He chanted, "Animae Passio."
Luding felt the swelling of emotions—such a variety of emotions, with a taste he had forgotten. He lost a thousandth of a heartbeat trying to identify it. He consciousness was in turmoil.. Took him while to realize where attack was coming from only then did he reach for his shield of adamantine will. The will blocked the attack of emotions coming from Wuyi. Then another attack came; the attack flew through Wuyi and reached Luding, attacking Luding's conscious space.
"You don't remember that taste, my sweet? That taste is love, and once, you were capable of it."
